White Bone Monkey King

Huangpizi is causing trouble?

Under everyone's curiosity, the old Taoist priest roughly talked about his experience.

Among the people in the North, there has always been a legend of the Five Immortals.

The five immortals refer to the five animals that accompany humans, namely foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and rats.

Collectively, they are called the Five Immortals of "Fox Yellow, White Willow Gray".

What we are mainly talking about here is the time the old Taoist priest encountered the yellow skin causing trouble, that is, the weasel skin.

That time, although the old Taoist priest just encountered a piece of yellow leather, it was still full of dangers and he almost didn't bother there.

It was deep in a snow-capped mountain covered by heavy snow.

A snowstorm broke out that year. The heavy snowfall came early. Before the villagers in the mountains could store enough food, furs and firewood for the winter, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. The snow outside their doors was up to a foot deep.

It's called a snowy, cold day.

Unprepared, many villagers froze to death in their homes that night.

The old Taoist priest at that time was trapped in a place called Qilitun.

Originally, he was traveling to the countryside at the foot of the mountain. He planned to stay there for a while and start his own business by fortune-telling and feng shui prediction. After he had saved up enough money, he could continue on his journey.

As a result, he had just arrived in the countryside and before he settled down, he met a haggard woman wearing a simple coat, sitting in a fellow villager's ox cart, dragging several half-year-old children into the countryside, found an old Taoist priest, and wanted to invite the old Taoist priest to do it in the mountains. White rituals.

It turned out that the woman's husband was accidentally hit by a tree while logging, so he went down the mountain specifically to ask a Taoist priest to perform a ritual for the man's salvation.

If it is a person who has died normally, there is no need to ask Taoist priests or monks to perform rituals.

But this man died accidentally.

It is necessary for Taoist monks to take care of it and do some rituals so that the relatives can be buried in peace.

The reason why the widow found the old Taoist priest was because her family was poor. When the man left, he not only left behind a few children, but also the man’s parents. As a helpless widow, she naturally had nothing to offer. How much savings. So she asked the fellow villagers for help and took her to the countryside. She wanted to go to the countryside to find out if there were any cheaper rituals. As soon as she entered the countryside, she bumped into an old Taoist priest who was setting up a stall on the roadside to read fortunes.

The village woman saw that the old Taoist priest was very accurate in reading people, so she asked the old Taoist priest if he knew how to do innocent things.

This is the old Taoist profession of doing simple rituals for people. When an old Taoist priest sees business coming to his door, there is no reason why he would take the initiative to push the business out of the door. He must say that he can do it.

This old Taoist priest has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot. He saw that the village woman in front of him looked haggard, with a exposed nose and sharp cheekbones. She looked like a widow, with simple clothes and a sad expression. She probably had a recent death in the family. The man, with several children in tow, could not afford much living money. In order to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, he did not ask for much money and hurriedly set off for the mountains.

As a result, just a few days after entering the mountain, the old Taoist priest had just buried the person and was about to leave the mountain when heavy snow closed the mountain. The old Taoist priest had to brave the snow to return to the village.

Fortunately, the village woman repaid her kindness and took in the old Taoist priest and let him live next door to the house of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Naturally, the old man couldn't eat and drink for free, so he did the work of a man, chopping firewood, sweeping snow, and going into the mountains to see if he could find some herbs and mushrooms to survive the winter. There are many pine forests in the north, which can grow longer in winter. Emerging mushrooms.

Although we lived a miserable life, and we were hungry and full, but fortunately we didn't starve to death. In addition, the old Taoist priest had traveled all over the country over the years, and he had a strong ability to survive in the wild. He could find many herbs that were tonic in winter. . So although I was trapped by the snowstorm and didn't have enough to eat every day, I didn't get sick or suffer any disaster.

In fact, such a big snow disaster makes life difficult for the whole village.

Just at this moment, a strange thing happened in the village.

A villager family fished out a body from the river.

That corpse is evil.

It floated under the ice of the river.

That day, several villagers dug holes in the ice to catch fish on the frozen glacier.

As a result, the body was lying face up against the river ice, floating down the river until it reached a hole in the ice dug by a villager named Zhuangzi.

That is from that day on.

The smell of minced meat began to waft out of the house of this villager named Zhuangzi every day.

There are four members of the family, the Zhuangzi, the pregnant wife, the old father and the old mother. They eat every day with their mouths full of oil and their faces glowing red. Others are hungry and have no water but no soup. The Zhuangzi family is the only one in the village. Not only are they not hungry but they are also thin. On the contrary, it also breeds fat.

So rumors began to spread in the village.

It was said that the strong man had just picked up a corpse from under the glacier not long ago, and the smell of meat began to spread from his house every day. It was said that the meat that the strong man and his family ate was none other than meat cut from that corpse. Dead human flesh.

It was Zhuangzi who had just buried the person during the day. At night, he was so hungry that he dug the person out and took him home to cook.

Faced with the rumors in the village, Zhuangzi's family did not come forward to explain. They kept the door closed every day and rarely went out. They started cooking every day, and the aroma of minced meat came out every day. The family of four ate so much that their faces were shiny every day.

But the weirdness doesn't stop there.

Logically speaking, with four mouths and such a daily eating method, the meat should be finished long ago, but Zhuangzi's family still has meat to eat every day with four mouths.

Later, rumors spread to the village woman's house where the old Taoist priest stayed, saying that the body of her man had been dug up and eaten by Zhuangzi's family.

This person will go crazy if he eats people. Even jackals, tigers and leopards will not eat the same kind of meat. No matter how hungry he is, he will not eat the same kind of meat because it is easy to get mad. Zhuangzi's family must have been addicted to cannibalism. The whole family went crazy. After eating the corpses fished out of the river, they switched to eating corpses in the village.

When Jin An heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Cannibalism is indeed a recipe for madness. It is also known as the epizootic virus.

That's how mad cow disease came about.

Beef cattle eat too much feed made from the same type of offal and broken bones. Although their nutrition improves, they also sow the seeds of disaster and make them susceptible to mad cow disease, which is also known as the epilepsy virus.

Of course.

People in this world do not yet have the concept of viruses.

But it has long been proven that people will become crazy if they eat human flesh.

In the tomb, a group of people walked while listening to the old Taoist priest continue to talk.

After hearing the rumors, the village women rushed to her husband's grave to open the coffin.

However, the bones are normal.

There was no sign that the soil on the grave had been disturbed.

However, the body that Zhuangzi had retrieved from the glacier and buried was missing.

Although the body of the village woman's husband was still there, the body picked up by Zhuangzi was missing. This reinforced the villagers' initial suspicion that Zhuangzi's family had eaten the man.

When encountering such an evil thing, the villagers could not stand still. They were afraid that the Zhuangzi family was addicted to cannibalism and would eventually eat the corpses. Who could guarantee that the Zhuangzi would go crazy and eat his fellow villagers? That day, everyone rushed to Zhuangzi's house, smashed the door and rummaged through the boxes, but they were surprised to find no human flesh, bones or corpses as they imagined.

The villagers, who were still angry at first, were now in a dilemma.

At this time, Zhuangzi's mother-in-law screamed in pain. It turned out that the villagers came to her house and beat her up. The adults were frightened and had fetal gas, and the child in her belly was born prematurely.

As a result, on that day, Zhuangzi's mother-in-law suffered a massive hemorrhage during childbirth and died on the bed. Her blood flowed all over the floor. That was also the day. The midwife was so frightened that she fainted because what Zhuangzi gave birth to was not a baby, but a weasel skin!

That night, Zhuangzi's family exploded. The mother-in-law hemorrhaged and died in the house with her eyes wide open. She gave birth to a weasel skin after eight months of pregnancy. Even his parents were so angry that they fell into a coma. Zhuangzi was frightened. That night, he hurriedly found the old Taoist priest and begged the old Taoist priest for help to save him and his parents.

The old Taoist priest had already heard about the matter of Zhuangzi's family. The old Taoist priest did not refuse Zhuangzi's request for help. He said that he could save people, but Zhuangzi must tell him all the truth truthfully and not hide anything, otherwise he would not be able to help with this matter. busy.

The reason why the old Taoist priest was willing to help Zhuangzi was because when Zhuangzi came to ask for help, he could see at a glance that Zhuangzi didn't look like he had eaten human flesh at all.

Because anyone who has eaten human flesh will have their teeth blackened and their hands and feet shaking uncontrollably.

The signs are clear.

But Zhuangzi does not have these characteristics.

When Zhuangzi saw that the old Taoist priest was willing to save him, he immediately grasped the last straw like a drowning man, naturally desperately trying to survive, so he shook out all the truth.

This matter started half a month ago.

Just a few days after the snowstorm hit and the mountains were closed by heavy snow, Zhuangzi began to go into the mountains to look for food. Because his mother-in-law was pregnant, both adults and children needed nutrition, so he took on the responsibility of being a husband and a man and went deep into the snowy mountains. Looking for food everywhere.

That day.

He went deep into the snow-capped mountains, chasing a wild rabbit, and accidentally found a snow-capped mountain village buried in heavy snow.

It was an abandoned deserted village.

It was also the first time for Zhuangzi to see this snow village.

Never seen it before.

It seems that the snow village appeared only during this snowstorm.

At that time, the strong man could only think about how he had chased him all the way here, and he could not give up all his efforts. He wanted to catch the hare so that he could immediately nourish his mother-in-law and the baby in her belly, so he stepped into this strange snowy village alone.

In order to embolden himself, he even deceived himself and said that there was no village here before, but now there is a snow village. Maybe he misremembered the location and followed the hare in the wrong direction in the snowy mountains.

In this way, Zhuangzi encouraged himself to enter the snow village alone.

But there is nothing in Snow Village.

no one.

No animals.

Not even the droppings of animals hiding in the snow are left here.

There were no animal paw prints in the snow either.

The entire snow village was clean except for the footprints of Lai Shixue behind him.

Zhuangzi looked around from room to room, each room was empty, until he found a painting in one room.

There were no people in the painting, only a bare temple, a snow-capped mountain temple.

As a result, when he returned home that day, Zhuangzi had a dream. He dreamed that he came to a snow mountain temple, and a great immortal lived in the snow mountain temple.

The great immortal said that Zhuangzi would salvage a corpse tomorrow. That corpse was her physical body in the earthly world. Although her merits were perfect and she was already in the immortal class, her mortal body could not rest in peace after death, so she would not be able to go to the immortal world. According to reports, it is impossible to truly rank in the immortal class. So I wanted to beg the destined Zhuangzi to retrieve her body and bury it in the village. This was a meritorious deed. It would produce good results with her and ensure that Zhuangzi's family would have no worries about food and drink in their lifetime.

The strong man is doubtful.

As a result, he really recovered a body the next day. That is to say, the next morning after the burial, Zhuangzi got up early in the morning and opened the door and saw a hare hanging outside the door.

Zhuangzi was overjoyed. He really thought that his kindness moved the immortal in heaven. After having a full meal with his family, he quickly set up a longevity tablet for the immortal at home, burned incense and prayed for blessings.

In fact, he didn't know.

It’s okay if he doesn’t set up a longevity card.

This act was tantamount to planting the seeds of disaster and inviting wild gods into the house, which later killed his mother-in-law and unborn child.

Just when the family of four had a feast, a rare meal after the snowstorm, that night, the great immortal once again entrusted Zhuangzi with a dream, saying that Zhuangzi had eaten the food she sent, but her body left in the earth was lying on the ground. In the cold underground, no one worshiped her, hoping that Zhuangzi could visit her grave and talk to her.

Zhuangzi, who had tasted the sweetness once, quickly agreed this time.

As a result, the next morning after the worship, a pheasant hung outside the door and window of Zhuangzi's house again. Zhuangzi, who was still excited and ecstatic at the time, didn't know that he was inviting the wild god into the house, which would bring disaster.

Yesterday, the great immortal was unable to enter his house because of insufficient cultivation, so he could only hang hare meat on the door of his yard. But today, he can hang pheasants on the windows of his yard.

On the third day, the immortal dreamed again, saying that she had not been able to take the last bite of food when she died and was starving to death, so she wanted to eat a corn cob to fulfill her last wish during her lifetime.

Zhuangzi did as he was told, and there happened to be some corn cobs left in the cellar.

Sure enough, the next day, there was another hare hanging on the door and window.

On the fourth day, the Immortal asked her in her dream. This time she asked for chicken blood. She said it was because her body had been dead for too long and the underground was too deserted. She needed some yang energy to nourish her. He asked Zhuangzi to find a bowl of chicken blood and drop it on her grave. Zhuangzi did not doubt the Immortal. If so, it just so happened that there was still a bowl of chicken blood left over from the pheasant that was slaughtered yesterday.

On the fifth day, she asked for dog blood, on the sixth day, she asked for live birds to be buried in her grave, and on the seventh day, she asked for human blood...

Although Zhuangzi wondered why the Immortal wanted human blood, at that time Zhuangzi had no doubts about the Immortal's ability. Although he had some doubts, he still went ahead and dedicated his own blood to the Immortal.

However, Zhuangzi soon discovered that things were far from simple.

The great immortal's desire became stronger and stronger, and the things he asked for began to become more and more sinister, and became more and more unbearable for him. At the beginning, it was still easy to get chicken blood, dog blood, and human blood, but as his desire became stronger step by step, Later, he actually started asking for people’s fingers!

Zhuangzi thought that his mother-in-law was about to give birth. It was the time when the adults needed meat the most and the children needed milk the most. He tremblingly dug up a grave and dug up a dead man's severed finger. This was how he managed to fool her. Immortal.

But a few days later, human blood, live birds, fingers and other small objects could no longer satisfy the immortal's desire. This time the immortal asked Zhuangzi to steal a baby for her and bury the baby in the soil of her grave.

What, a baby? Zhuangzi was really frightened this time.

He would definitely not agree to the crime of murder.

The Great Immortal did not embarrass Zhuangzi, so he wanted the head of Zhuangzi's old father instead, because the Great Immortal said that Zhuangzi had leaked his affairs to his father, and the Great Immortal's name was not allowed to be blasphemed by ordinary people. Zhuangzi had to pay the penalty if he blasphemed the gods. There is a price to pay.

No matter how hard Zhuangzi begged, the great immortal refused to go around his father.

That same night, Zhuangzi's mother-in-law had severe abdominal pain and almost miscarried. The immortal once again entrusted Zhuangzi with a dream. In the dream, she changed her previous kindness. This time she tore off the disguise and warned Zhuangzi with sharp teeth that today was just a little boy. As a small punishment, if he didn't offer his father's head to her to eat, the son's daughter-in-law would be killed in two parts the next day.

This warning made Zhuangzi understand that he was luring the wolf into the house, but it was too late to regret it.

It was impossible for him to commit patricide, so he just kept on doing it and took advantage of the dawn to dig out the body of the great immortal and burn it clean.

Zhuangzi thought that by doing this, he would be able to remain unnoticed. No one in the village would know that he had invited an evil god into the village, and the family of four could continue to stay in the village until the snowstorm was over.

There is still a lot of meat stockpiled at home. If they save some food, it will be enough for them to survive this snowstorm year.

In the next few days, as Zhuangzi expected, the immortal did not come to him again in his dream. It seemed that the nightmare had ended with the fire burning the body.

Until, some villagers broke into his house, causing his mother-in-law to give birth prematurely and giving birth to a weasel skin. His parents were so frightened that they fainted and fell to the ground. The family was ruined in an instant.

But it was too late for Zhuangzi to repent, and his family was ruined.

In order not to involve my parents.

Then he ran to the old Taoist priest and begged him to save his parents.

…

Snap.

Snap.

In the empty cave, the team of ten people continued to move forward. Everyone was quiet all the way, listening to the experiences of the old Taoist priest.

"Yukimura?"

"Weasel skin?"

"So it turns out that the Taoist priest who came from the snow-covered mountains to the government to report the corpse hiding case in Xuecun was you, Taoist priest Chen?"

This time it was General Duwei who spoke.

He looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise.

The surprise on his face was beyond words.

"Daozhang Chen, you may not have an impression of me. I also heard about this from a visiting friend, because this case was a very famous one at that time..." After walking and walking, they had already walked out of the mountain in front of them. On the wall, there is a step in front of you. The step rises and leads to a huge high platform in front. There is a hazy outline on the high platform, which seems to be a coffin?

Tick ​​tock!

Suddenly.

The soft sound of a drop of water made everyone tense.

"Hush, there's movement!"

The captain made a silent movement and looked solemnly at the high platform in front of him. The sound of water dripping came from the hazy shadow of the coffin on the high platform.
